#181 Making Better Choices In Response To Triggers & Trauma - Not Getting Drunk/High This Time
I am not in the best way ATM, but unlike previous times I have felt this way I have made a different choice.
Rather than choosing to inebriate myself, I chose not to. I recognised how I would feel during and after the inebriation, and how I have previously felt and made a different choice.
So now I have been left to sit with the pain, but also to recognise that my pain won’t last (because it never lasts).
I can take good actions:
- I followed my crisis plan
- Undertook self-care
- I prioritised my mental health
- I focused on the good
131: Dealing With Triggers & Trauma
